Using DVD Player, the show goes back to menu after every chapter, even though I selected "Play Entire Episode".

It only does this on Reading Rainbow DVDs so far: Using DVD Player, the show goes back to menu after every chapter, even though I selected "Play Entire Episode". It does this whether the laptop is plugged in or is using battery power. How do I get it to play all?? Thanks.

Turns out it was NOT the software or the Mac. I bought a portable DVD player and this problem happens with it, too.

Re: Satellite L40-18X PSL48E: brightness goes back to max after every reboot

Hello,
i have Satellite L40-18X, short model: PSL48E
bought it with Vista, the bios is version 1.70.
There is very annoying problem with the brightness regulator of the display:
Every time i restart the Vista OS the brightness is set to Maximum and i have to switch it back to smaller brightness.
By hibernating the OS there is no problem - brightness is just fine as i leaved it - the same percent.
The Fn keys + F6 and F7 are working fine, in OS and in BIOS - everywhere, but after i start the OS the brightness is on the highest level
Absolutely the SAME problem is in windows XP (with the same bios 1.70) - Fn keys are working fine, but when os starts - brightness is always on Max level, by hibernating is OK.
Can you give me suggestion?
Now i don't want to reflash the bios, because on the website there is older version 1,60 for Vista and i cannot have the mine version.
Appreciate any help :)

You are right, the power profiles in vista have brightness regulator, and from there
the problem is fixed :) Thanks.
Now stays the Windows XP sp2 with the same brightness problem. All drivers are working
- wlan, sound, everything - I've downloaded the xp drivers from the site.
I installed these:
1)ATK Hotkey Driver\2ksetup.exe
2)ATK Hotkey Utility Driver\Setup.exe
-hotkeys are working, but same problem by reboot of OS - brightness @ Max level
I checked what apps start automatically - D:\Program files\ ATK Hotkey\Hcontrol.exe
starts - it is responsible for the hotkey menu. I tried with and without this app -
but no fix. Any other suggestions? (In power profiles of Win XP there are no settings
for brightness :( ) Will the problem be fixed if i install the XP bios, because as I said I doesn't want to install another version, because i will loose my "new" 1.70 bios
(not available for download)?

I have a football game recorded on a DVD R disc that I was trying to view on my MacBook using DVD Player. The video comes onto the screen, but immediately freezes, and then disappears. An error message comes up saying that DVD player unexpectedly quit.

I have a football game recorded on a DVD+R disc that I was trying to view on my MacBook using DVD Player. The video comes onto the screen, but immediately freezes, and then disappears. An error message comes up saying that DVD player unexpectedly quit. My MacBook operating system is Mac OS X, version 10.5.8. DVD Player is App version 5.0.3, framework version 5.0.7.
However, the DVD+R works on both my Dad's and my brother's laptops. My Dad's laptop is an iBook G4 with Mac OS X operating system, version 10.3.9. The DVD Player is version 4.0. My brother's laptop is a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X operating system, version 10.7.2. The DVD Player is App version 5500.26.1 and framework version 5.5.0. The DVD+R plays fine on their laptops, but will not play on mine.

Lao Bo,
yes, you can locate and copy a file from your HD to a USB key using UNIX commands. If you know the exact name of the file which you’re trying to locate, try this:
find / -iname filename -print
This command will search your entire internal disk for the particular filename. If you know that it’s within a particular user account, then you can save search time with this variation:
find /Users/username -iname filename -print
Either variation of this command will print all files found which have the given filename. Presuming that you’re able to identify the correct file, you can copy it to a USB key using the command
cp -p filename_returned_by_find /Volumes/USB_volume
If you’re not sure which volume name your USB key has, this command will show you what the possibilities are:
ls /Volumes
Please let me know if you have any trouble with these commands.

Is this an app bbbc? IF it is I would contact the app developer and see if they can resolve the issue for you.
also take a look at the reviews and see if other users are having the same issue and see if they have a resolution.

How to bookmark ripped DVDs on a macbook using DVD Player

I have some video that I'm watching using dvd player - ripped on the hard drive for better battery performance (I presume) and also just ease when traveling ... and bookmarks are grayed out.. cannot seem to bookmark things opened as "dvd media" from the file menu. how can I bookmark where I left off so I don't have to re-open, and fast forward to where I thought I was?
tia,
ferd

Have you ripped the file and kept it in DVD format?
If you rip it using HandBrake ( http://download.m0k.org/handbrake/HandBrake-0.7.1-OSX.zip ) then it will compress the video to mp4 which will be much smaller but still near DVD quality - you can then add it to iTunes or the Movies tab (on the left hand side of the Finder) and then using Front Row (pressing command + esc or menu on the apple remote) and going to movies you can watch the video, then when you stop watching you can go back to it later and it should play from where you left off.

Can i make a slideshow in iPhoto to play in a dvd player with out going to iDVD

I need to have a slide show to play in the funeral parlor dvd player,
Can I do that right out of iPhoto? with out haveing to learn iDVD or iMovie
I have experimented exporting into iTunes, then putting it into iDVD but it seems like redundancy. There is a depth to iDVD that i really don't need/want if I don't have to go there.
The slideshow is the way I like it in iPHOTO, music, ect.
Before I get in over my head with applicatons I am unfamiliar with i thought I would ask the community.
OH, an if so, HOW DO I DO IT!!!
OH also, time is of the essence, today is Friday, Wednesday is the funeral
thanx

follow up:
then there is this one
You can put up to 2 hours of playing time on an iDVD video DVD. Create the slideshow in iPhoto with an aspect ratio of 4:3 (iDVD) and export it at Size = Medium or Large. This will create a Quicktime movie file.
Open iDVD, create a project and select a theme. Drag the exported Quicktime movie file into the iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones. (???)
Follow this workflowin iDVD to help ensure the best quality final product:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

In IE if I set the zoom at lets say 150% it will stay that way even if I shut down. But with firefox, it goes back to small print every time I view a new page. Is there a way to set the zoom to stay at a larger size? Thanks, EH

Lose sound with optical speakers after using DVD Player

For some reason when I launch DVD Player my sound will stop on all other applications. Quitting DVD Player won't fix this either. In iTunes, the song won't even begin playing. I've tried checking Audio MIDI Setup, and for my ouput I'm only allowed to choose "None". When I try to select Built-in Audio it won't let me. However, before I launch DVD Player Built-in Audio will output to the speakers. My speakers are Logitech 5.1 Z5500's and I am using the optical connections. They didn't come with any sort of drivers and seem to work fine before using DVD Player, so I don't really know what's up.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Powermac G5 Dual 2.7 Mac OS X (10.4.3) Logitech Z5500 Digital Speakers

In DVD Player's preferences when Disc Setup -> Audio Output is set to "Digital Out - Built-in Audio" the AC3 stream is sent to the speakers. This is an encoded stream straight from the disc that provides the 5.1 channel surround sound. The computer cannot take the sound from other applications and mix it with the AC3 stream because it would first have to decode the stream, mix the sound and then re-encode the stream. This is very processor intensive and your system would take a big performance hit.
To get sounds from other applications while watching a DVD change Disc Setup -> Audio Output to "System Sound Output". You'll lose the 5.1 output from the movie but will hear the sounds from other applications.

On G71-340US: very low volume when using DVD player, but OK when using Windows Media Player.

Just purchased new laptop G71-340US. Volume (at full tilt) is decent when using Windows Media Player, but when using DVD player, volume is so low I can't really hear volume on a movie unless room is completely quiet, and I am right in front of laptop. Any suggestions, or is it really this bad?

I don't have the answer, but I certainly agree. The G71-340us is severly under powered in the audio department. You would think with the extra room in the 17in. chasis they could have put a sound system with a lot more power. Other than that it's a great machine.

Google seems to change their login security occasionally, and apps that assume it will work a particular way get left out in the cold till they are updated, since the login process is hard-coded into the app.
Here is the automated e-mail I received today from Google when tried to upload a movie using iMovie.

Video goes back to menu before reaching the end of the timeline.

Hi.
I´m having a problem with a Double Layer DVD project in Encore CS3: a 1 hour 30 minutes video goes back to menu before reaching the end for no apparent reason.
I don´t know if this is related to the layer break point of the DVD-DL. I just leave this setting in auto and burn the disc with Nero.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Well, I forgot to mention that I was burning the DVD disk with Nero, as I´ve read that Encore puts the layer break point in a weird way.
But after burning the disc with other aplication, the problem disappeared, don´t know why.
Sadly, now I have another different problems. I´ll open a different thread for them.

My Theme disappears from the DVD after I burn it on to a disc. I know it's there but my DVD player doesn't "see" it. How do I burn an iDVD that will play the theme?

It sure is. It also plays on my PC using VLC Player. So, I know that it was burned onto the DVD.
