Using DVD@ccess on DVD-Rom builds

I have been able to test creating a project using DVD@ccess but it seems that it only supports 1 of either file, email or web links. Is this correct? If not how do I set multiple links using the DVD@ccess program or is there another way?
If not I may simply have to create a pdf file with the document and other links embedded in it and use this.
Thanks
Rob

You can associate only one DVD@cces link per menu or chapter marker. If you'd need more than one link, you'll need extra menus or markers. I generally start with a single menu with all the links as buttons. I'll target each button to a new menu that looks identical, but has a specific DVD@acces link and have that menu immediately time out and target back to the original links menu.

  • Using DVD@ccess for .PDF (not clear to me in Manual)

    So I've got a link typed into a certain page of the DVD to link to a .pdf file. The link is typed as:
    file:///DVDname/foldername/file.pdf
    This is how it tells me to link it in the Manual, however whenever I burn a test disc, put it in the computer, check the "enable DVD@ccess" box in the DVD Player prefs, and test it, it does not open the file. How is this not working? Do I have to place the folder in a specific location when the DVD begins to build and format, or do I have to include the full line of folder names (folders within folders) when I type in the address above? Am I selecting the wrong folder when I choose the "content" folder before building the DVD?

    Good links from Drew...
    The process is complicated. I'll try to make it simple.
    First off, your pdf file needs to be in a folder somewhere on your machine - let's call it EXTRAS. That folder itself now needs to be in a parent folder as well, let's call that one ROM_CONTENT. For simplicity just set this up on your desktop for now.
    From within DVDSP you need to set the location of the pdf file in the property inspector, but you do this in two places. First off, click on the disc icon in the outline view and then look in the property inspector for the ROM section. Use the 'Browse' facility to specify the outer folder you made earlier, and make sure the path in the property inspector points to the location of 'ROM_CONTENT'.
    Now, in the menu that is going to hold the DVD@ccess link you also specify the path to the file, but this time you set up the path as it would appear after the disc is built. If your pdf file is called 'products' and your DVD itself is called 'My_Disc' then the URL that you put in the menu needs to be:
    file:///My_Disc/EXTRAS/products.pdf
    Note that you *do not* use the name of the parent folder... this is very important!
    When DVDSP builds the disc it will place the Video_TS and Audio_TS folders at the root level (the first thing you see if you open the disc in your finder). When you use DVD@ccess it will also put a folder to hold the @ccess.exe file with instructions to PC users, and it will also put whatever it finds inside the ROM_CONTENT folder at the root level of the disc. In the example here it finds a folder called EXTRAS and so the root of your disc looks nice and tidy - four folders. If you didn't use the inner folder then your pdf would appear as a file on the root... which to me is plain messy.
    Now, since the folder called EXTRAS is now at the root level and holding the file to launch, that's what you MUST specify when writing the menu URL.
    Finally, in order to see this working on your Mac (simulator) you need to turn on the DVD@ccess prefs in both DVDSP and DVD Player. Once done, the file should launch your default pdf viewer (probably 'Preview'). If it doesn't then there is either something wrong with the paths you have used inside DVDSP, or there is something wrong with your Mac! I'd suspect the paths before anything else...

  • I cannot see why DVD @CCESS and DVD-ROM content are not working properly

    Hi,
    I am very new to DSP, and I know I am missing a piece of the jigsaw, but I do not know what it is. I used a tutorial from creative cow to try and make the @CCEESS function work, but no dice… for now at least. When I did a build/format (to the HDD) everything went fine. I mounted the image, and I could see the DVD @CCESS folder and the DVD–ROM content on the DVD image. When I went to play the image, the button did not work. The content I am trying to use with @CCESS is a PDF file.
    The tutorial I followed was this: http://library.creativecow.net/articles/alexzander_alex/dvdaccess.php
    By the way, I am using is 4.2.2
    Help or just counsel is appreciated.

    As Eric said - DVD@ccess is really not that useful. It was a way to get documents like PDFs to automatically launch in the application (like Acrobat) when watching a DVD on a computer. Since they can't launch on a set top player the technology was already limited. Then the whole issue of getting it to work on a PC arose - it simply wasn't reliable. I managed to produce one disc that was replicated with @ccess links, but I knew the parameters for it's use in advance and managed to get it to work. It doesn't work on modern machines.
    For a while there was a Sonic app which was much better at getting this sort of thing to work, but you had to work on a OC to set it up. Sonic pulled the app shortly after I bought it (sigh) and never replaced it. The fact is, automating document launches and web links is actually pretty tricky on a DVD, the results were variable and it never really enhanced your discs like you wanted to think it would!
    If all you want to do is include a PDF file on the disc, and alert viewers to it being there, you only need to use the ROM content functions not @ccess, and you can use a menu screen to give instructions to people to let them know how to find it.

  • AIR to use for DVD-ROM application - a question

    For a customer (a sound-enginering in film) I am looking for a solution to produce a DVD-ROM (like the 'old' CD-ROM application) for the presentation (a sort of portfolio) of +/- 400 soundfiles (not music, but real sound).
    In the past the production of CD-ROM application was done using "Macromedia Director".
    Now for the past two weeks I have discovered and studied a little about the "desktop" possibilities of AIR-technology. This has greatly impressed me.
    I would like to use AIR (build with Flex) to produce the whole interface for the DVD: displaying the soudfiles in different way: categories, maybe treemapping, searchable database with SQL-lite etc...
    My question is: has someone experience with the use of AIR for DVD-ROM? Can he/she recommends something? The pros/contras?
    Thank you in advance,
    konrad

    As ab1301 says, you can bundle the AIR runtime on the disc if you sign up for a redistribution license agreement:
    See  http://www.adobe.com/products/air/runtime_distribution1.html.
    However, I believe that still won't get you what you're looking for.
    I assume you want the menu to run directly from the DVD. However, AIR applications must be installed to run -- you can't run them directly from a portable storage like DVD-ROM, USB memory stick, etc.
    So, if you want to have the installer for your AIR application be on a DVD, and have it install the application on the user's computer, you can do that (but you'll probably need the redistribution license and you'll probably also need to write your own custom installer). This thread doesn't provide a complete answer but it does offer some relevent advice:

  • Is it possible to share assets between a windows and a mac AIR app build with captive runtime on one dvd-rom?

    Hi there,
    I have a question about burning two builds of an AIR desktop app with captive runtime, one for Windows and one for Mac, on a single hybrid DVD-rom that can be played on both Windows computers and Macs.
    I've tried sharing the assets (video's and pdf's mostly) between the two builds, but I can't seem to get it to work. The only way I have been able to work around this, is to have the assets in both builds, which results in the double the amount of space on the DVD-Rom.
    Is there a way to have the two builds use a single location to find the files? Or do I need to have two builds that both contain all the assets?
    Thanks in advance!
    Kinds regards,
    Maarten

    Gotcha!!
    I am done with mounting a secondary HDD (thanks to ifixit) and installing Windows 8 Pro 64 bit on it without a worry. Charm, charm!!
    Boot Camp 5 guide prescribes all needed steps and when read and used correctly, installation must be an easy task. And all the existing apple hardwares work so good in the Windows environment too.
    I am going to help out a friend of mine in doing a similar thing on his mac too. If you got specific questions, please do shoot up here and i should be able to get a reply to it (if at all).

  • Build: DVD-ROM Content:

    ello Everyone.
    Inside Build: DVD-ROM Content, There Is a Browse Button. How dose It work ?
    Do I need to Browse to a Folder, or a file ?
    What Type Of file dose It need to be ?
    Thanks

    You browse to the folder, but the files from the folder are added to the disk, not the folder. (I think subfolders are added, but I don't recall.) They can be pretty much anything: it is just a data disk in that sense.

    No DV port in camcorder.  Just a yellow AV port/hole.  I did find a Canopus ADVC110 device in a box that was bought several years ago to convert VHS tapes onto DVD's.  Can I use this with a Mac?  Could I connect a dvd player to the Canopus and transfer the disks onto my Mac?  Or, connect the camcorder via AV port to the Canopus and that to the Mac and transfer that way?  Thanks again!

  • IDVD 6 dvd-rom content of images used in the movie aren't visible on winbox

    I created a slideshow in iPhoto 6, exported as a QuickTime movie, and then imported that movie into iDVD 6.
    Into the advanced menu, edit dvd-rom window, I dragged from iPhoto, the album of the images used to create the QuickTime movie.
    After burning the project onto a dvd-r disc, I checked the disc on my mac. Both the movie and the dvd-rom contents of the images viewed perfectly.
    On two winboxes running xp, the dvd movie played flawlessly, but when navigating, in win explorer, to the folder with the images, neither winbox was able to recognize the images as being images. They show the image titles below icons, but the images never load, nor when clicked, do they open.
    Is there something back in iDVD or iPhoto that I can do to assure cross platform compatibility? I've searched this forum and looked at the relevant section of D. Pogue's iMovie 6/iDVD Missing Manual book, but it doesn't speak to this. It seems to suggest that there shouldn't be a problem.
    My other thought is that I had saved my iDVD project as a disc image, then used DiskUtility to burn it onto the dvd-r. Is there something I need to do to from DiskUtility to assure cross platform compatibility?
    Thanks,
    John

    Okay, I figured out what was wrong. The problem was that when dragging the images to the edit dvd-rom content window, I had dragged from iPhoto. My iPhoto preferences are to NOT copy the images when importing, so when I dragged to iDVD, what I was dragging were only aliases of the images.
    I trashed the disc image that I had created, and in iDVD, then dragged the actual images from the folder in which they resided, to the edit dvd-rom content window. I then saved as a disc image again.
    Now, after burning a dvd-r in Disk Utility of that disc image, the images are recognized in the winboxes. They actually load much more quickly on my son's hp box than they do on my G4 mini!
    I believe that when I had been checking the original dvd-r that I had burned which held the aliases, my mac linked those to the images which it had on the hard drive, so of course they were visible.
    So, all of you out there that may have a similar situation, make sure you're dragging the actual photos, and not the aliases!

  • HP 15-d041TU DVD-ROM HP UJ8FBA makes a noise when not using

    Hi everyone, here comes another problem from my newly bought HP, i sorted out nearly every issue that came along (packed) with this driver less laptop, now i have a issue that dvd rom makes a noise as if pick up is moving every once in 5 minutes, there is no disc in the drive, and i am not using it at all. I opened it and closed it doesn't seem to help. So after numerous searches i did this!
    1. ) Disabled Autorun of Windows 8
    2. ) Did a hard reset, i don't know if it's correct. "Hold the power button for 15 seconds" when computer is swtiched off
    3. ) Updated the bios again, it was updated i think but i did update again i don't know no messages about same bios etc.
    Now so far problem didn't arise, PHEW!
    What could have caused this? has anyone had the same problem? What was the solution worked for you?

    Here's the solution, it's not the drive that makes the sound. it is the hard drive, lol hardrive is located in the right bottom of the machine which i thought it's in the left. Even when i have the drive ejected it still makes the noise so it can't be the drive right?.

  • Using the DVD-Rom drive renders MBP almost useless

    Under Windows XP Pro on my 2.2 MBP, while accessing the DVD-Rom drive for anything (browsing directories, installing something, playing/burning a DVD or ripping a CD) the computer cannot playback audio. It comes out so skippy and jumpy that you cannot recognise speech. It slows down typing input, mouse movement, and makes video playback skippy. It also hangs up my soundcard (M-Audio Firewire 410), and I have to restart the computer to get sound to work again. I have installed the Bootcamp 2.0 drivers from the Leopard disc.
    Does anyone else have this problem, and have you found any way to fix it? Thank you.

    Anyone?

  • DVD ROM feature not working

    I really don't know what I am doing wrong.. can someone please help?
    I am trying to attach a pdf file with the DVD ROM feature.
    I go to the outline tab and in the inspector I check DVD-ROM content..
    then choose my folder with my pdf doc.
    It is in a folder named "ROM"
    The location comes up and it says it finds it..and that the doc took up 28MB of space....
    I connect the DVD-ROM content with DVD@ccess.. entering in
    file///DVDName/FolderName/filename
    exctally as is.. but when I burn it, it doesn't work...
    I am following everything to the T, but it doesn't work...
    If I switch out the DVD-ROM name and put in a weblink it works perfectly.
    I know that I am typing everything correctly spacing and spellng wise...
    One interesting thing.. when i start the build and burn and turn on the DVD@access feature.. I choose the same path to the file, but it says that it isn't taking any space...
    Also after burning the DVD .. it doesn't load up the Pdf file, but when I open the DVD manually.. the pdf file is there.. and when I open the file manually it does load up fine..
    So what am I doing wrong so it doesn't load up when I click the button??
    Hope this makes sense.. already wasted about 8 DVDs
    thanks

    Check that you are adding the document extension as well. The pathname is pretty much the main area where mistakes are made when linking to files on the disc. Is the file actually on the finished DVD? Open it in the finder and look for it there.
    The system works in a quirky way (IMO) - place your PDF into a folder on your desktop called 'ROM' and place that folder into a different folder called 'disc content' (or whatever). In DVDSP, use the property inspector to point to the outer folder (the 'disc content' folder) and you will get a nice neat 'ROM' folder (plus contents) on your final disc.
    If you are getting the file onto the burned disc, then the problem is in your URL. If you are NOT getting the file to the disc, then the problem is in the way you are setting this all up.
    Check the URL is valid:
    file:///discname/foldername/filename.extension
    So, in the above example, if the file called 'document.pdf' is used on a disc is called 'Extras' the URL would be:
    file:///Extras/ROM/document.pdf
    Note that colon in the URL after the word 'file'.
    Remember that I suggest placing the document into a folder called 'ROM'. You can, of course, use any other name you wish as long as it is a valid name.

  • .PDF files in DVD ROM content

    I am using a Mac and Encore CS4. I am trying to include a .pdf file as DVD ROM content. Whenever I try this, all .pdf files are "grayed out" and I can't use them. Adobe Acrobat Reader 9 and Adobe Acrobat Pro are both installed on the computer. I can read .pdf files outside of Encore.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    To add to Ruud's comment. When adding DVD-ROM content (Build tab; about half way down), you cannot add files; you must add folders. But you can have anything you want inside the folder.
    If you really want the file at the root of the DVD (i.e. not in a folder), build from Encore to a DVD folder without the file(s). Then use ImgBurn, add the Video_TS folder and any other files, then burn. I've never done this before, so I did a quick test (but I am CS3). Such a disk plays as a DVD in a set top DVD player and on a PC through wmp, and, on the PC, I can open the file from the disk.

  • DVD ROM query for embedding Powerpoint

    Hi, I am receiving conflicting advice on a job I have to output on Tuesday for a client. I have a 20 min NTSC video thats complete.
    The client has stated that they now need to have 2 powerpoint presentations, some pdfs and some jpgs added to the DVD.
    My local applestore advised me that I will have to use the DVDROM function in SP and that is the only way that the viewers can use the powerpoint presentation as intended (i.e not just as a slide show, but with foward and back facility etc). They say that the video and the other windows files will show up as a folder on the disk and the Video file will play in all DVD players, but the windows files won't. They also say that I cannot put the items on the DVD menu for access that way?
    My DVD replication house, have said that the video file, if put on DVDROM will play in Pc's and Macs but will NOT play in DVD players as they don't recognise the files as playable?
    They added that there is a player you can use that will embed a windows powerpoint file and that the PP presention opens up in a viewer that plays and allows full functionality of the presention buttons.
    Can anyone tell me the best way to go about this in the short timescales I have.
    I don't mind telling the client that the disk will only be viewable in PCs and not DVD players if I have to, but am still wondering, what happens then if someone puts the disk in a mac? how will the Powerpoint presentaion work, or wont it. The disk run is 750 so I can't risk having the glass master etc and disks produced, only to find major playing difficulties.
    Would really appreciate advice from anyone who has done this kind of thing.
    Thanks

    Any items in the DVD ROM files should be thought of generally as being data files that can be accessed as need by the appropriate program. In other words if there is a Photoshop File (not JPEG, TIF but actual PSD file) and the user does not have Photoshop or other application on the Computer which opens PSD files, then the user cannot use the PSD file. If it is a PowrerPoint project and the user does not have PowerPoint and you have not made a Projector (think that is the term, the self contained playback thing even if a user does not have PowerPoint) then they will not be able to use the file. Anything in the PowerPoint file is subject to how your create it in PowerPoint.
    They say that the video and the other windows files will show up as a folder on the disk and the Video file will play in all DVD players, but the windows files won't. They also say that I cannot put the items on the DVD menu for access that way?
    Some players can play back various formats, MPs, AVIs and the rest, but that is not playing back a DVD. The DVD is a different thing. As to the Windows files, not sure what you are saying there, but if they are files that only a Windows machine (as oppossed to a Mac) can read then a Windows machine would be needed.
    You can use things like @ccess (you can search for the threads on that one), but in a nutshell, not very reliable and it is often easier to just have a menu telling people to look at the folder on the DVD for extra items. Nothing in the DVD-ROM folder will be playable on a DVD Player, you will need a computer.
    My DVD replication house, have said that the video file, if put on DVDROM will play in Pc's and Macs but will NOT play in DVD players as they don't recognise the files as playable?
    RIght. You need to seperate two concepts. One is a DVD you rent from Blockbuster, which is the thing that you pop into a player hooked up to your TV and start playing and the second is extra material on the DVD (DVD-ROM content) which require a computer.
    They added that there is a player you can use that will embed a windows powerpoint file and that the PP presention opens up in a viewer that plays and allows full functionality of the presention buttons.
    Sounds like they are talking about the Projector type thing or did they say running it from within a DVD Player?
    Can anyone tell me the best way to go about this in the short timescales I have.
    What you are trying to do is unclear, I think in part because of the issues between a DVD and then including extra content.
    I don't mind telling the client that the disk will only be viewable in PCs and not DVD players if I have to, but am still wondering, what happens then if someone puts the disk in a mac? how will the Powerpoint presentaion work, or wont it. The disk run is 750 so I can't risk having the glass master etc and disks produced, only to find major playing difficulties.
    See above regarding the PowerPoint Projector concept. It should run on a Mac subject to the same issues described above (software maybe needed to open files, etc.) Alos cheeck with your replicator, there is usually a break on mastering charges at certain levels - often 1,000 units. May be about the same price.
