Want to lengthen audio loop on main menu

On the main menu, my Drop Zones loop after about 30 seconds (the max for that template). That's fine. But the song also loops at the same time. It sounds not so good.
Is there anyway to lengthen the audio loop? I don't necessarily care if the video loop is altered.

Is that what is constraining my audio loop to 30 seconds?
In that case you'd be limited to the very tail end of the video so yes this could hold you down to 30 seconds or less in practice. The solution would be to move the start point /slider a bit forward to allow for a longer video loop. Hope this helps & good luck.

  • I want to place a query in main menu

    Hi Experts
    I want to place a query in main menu but it is not in a crystal report format? How should I be able to do that in SAP 8.8?
    Please guide me further in this matter.

    Hi Bhavesh.....
    If it is the case of only SQL Query then it is not possible to take it under standard module but you can definitely take it in User Menu.
    But if it is the case of Crystal Report then you can anyway include it under standard module list.....

  • Want to Loop the Main Menu photos

    Hi, I've been working on this problem for awhile and I"ve read the Help info about looping but somethings not working.

    What are you trying to do?
    When you say "Main Menu" movie are you referring to the drop zone of your theme? I take it, that upon insertion of the DVD, you want a theme to come up, not just have your movie autoplay.
    Make sure you are dropping the movie into the Drop Zone well, and not into the movie well. The Drop Zone, as you move your movie file over it, should should a little outline. If you hit the Drop Zone it should loop automatically. Not too sure about iDVD 5 themes .. I know you have more control over them
    Try using a iDVD 4 theme, drop your movie into the Drop Zone and see if that gives you what you want.

  • Background Audio on the main menu

    How do you change the volume on the main menu of background audio?

    Using Chuck's recommendation, I find that about -6db to -12db is a good starting point. Be aware that different audio editing programs use slightly different db scales and that all VUE meters are not the same. Experiment until you find the "sweet spot" and jot it down someplace. That will be your starting point for other Audio, however only listening will get you exactly what you want and need.

  • Audio missing from main menu?

    I don't know what I did, but there is no audio playing on my main menu! It does not matter if I change themes. I have audio on the submenus and slideshows. What can I do to get my audio to play on my main menu again!
    Kevin

    itunes volume control DOES control the volume of my external speakers
    which are attached to a ProSonus FireBox.
    Website links with controls of audio DO control the volume of my external
    speakers which are attached to a ProSonus FireBox
    However, the main Mac MenuBar sound control slide bar does not control
    the sound itunes or these websites AND the MenuBar sound control slide
    bar does not control either my internal or external speakers.
    Sound Control panel Input Panel is set at the PreSonus FireBox (0260)
    device with mic setttings at mid level and the master output volume set
    about 1.5 units up with "show volume in menu bar" box checked and Mute box clear of checkmarks.
    The Sound Control Panel Output panel is set at Presonus FireBox (0260)
    with the master output volume set at 1.5 units with "show show volume in menu bar" box checked and Mute box clear of checkmarks. Controlling the slider
    from the Sound Control Panel DOES control the slider in the Mac MenuBar
    but not the sound.
    The fact that sound is coming out of the firebox indicates sound from itunes
    and web site sound links IS being redirected from the internal speakers to the firebox and then the firebox is redirecting the sound to the external speakers.
    However, the volume control at the mac is not sending out a lower
    signal to the firebox or the firebox is not responding to the lower signal
    or something else has control over the volume control.
    There are two clues. The volume control of itunes DOES work and the
    manual control of the Firebox is working.
    Another interesting observation is that the "Sound Effects" panel of the Sound Control Panel does appear to work correctly; the alerts are supposed to
    work through the internal speakers (as the drop down list box is selected that
    way) and the Master volume does limit the alert volume. But I find it interresting
    that the Master volume is coupled to the internal speakers when the Master Volume should be coupled to the firebox (and then through to the external speaakers).

  • No Audio on Main Menu - Please post if you are having this issue....

    Howdy...
    I am having trouble getting any audio on the main menu. I can drag and drop audio files (non-DRM) to all my menus, and it shows up in the inspector, but when I preview or burn a disc, the main menu has no audio. All of the sub-menus have the audio just fine, but not the main.
    I'm currently using the 'Stretch' theme...
    Again, all sub menus work just fine, but the same audio will not play on the main menu.
    Does anyone have a solution?
    If you are also having this problem, please post here...
    Thanks...
    Best,
    Ben

    I've stumbled onto the reason for this problem. It's because you unintentionally muted your audio for this menu. To resolve it do the following:
    1. Open the menu where you are having audio problems
    2. Click on the drop zone icon to open the drop zones
    3. Move the music (the iTunes music notes) that you've placed here out of the menu box
    4. By getting the music icon out of the way, you will reveal a tiny black sound/audio icon
    5. If you strain your eyes and look real close you will see that there are no sound waves coming out of the sound icon
    6. Click on the icon and tiny black sound waves will appear
    7. You have now "unmuted" your menu
    8. Drop your music selection back into the menu drop zone
    9. You now have sound!

  • Can't get audio in main menu only

    Hello, I'm new to iDVD and when I try to add audio to my main menu, it won't playback. The songs I have chosen for the two submenus play fine but no matter how many times I delete and re-add the file to the main menu, it just won't play. I'm importing the tune from iTunes. It's not the song because any song I try to add to the main menu won't play. Argh!

    OK, I have a question - when you all are talking about using this for work and for projects... are these for internal presentations and such? Because if you are selling them, say as video or photo projects, that does seem like violations of music copyright and exactly what Apple is trying to stop with this crazy authorization business.
    I don't mean to sound judgmental, but it has just seemed strange as I am reading these threads, of all the people with work projects due and such.
    In my case however (and again, not to sound all high and mighty), I am using iLife just as Apple intended... for home movies of my kid and I burn exact 3 copies of it, one for us and 2 for the grandparents... and this iTunes restriction is ridiculous in those terms. If they were to place burning restrictions, they should have done it similarly to the CD burning, where you could only make a limited number of copies and such.
    I am so so so so so so so disappointed.
    And going back to iLife 06.

  • No Audio at main menu page

    Hi,
    I authored a DVD. All sub menus have audio-background "Revolution-Extras".
    The main menu page shows as Audio "Revolution-Main" but no sound is played, when playing the DVD and the main menu page is coming up.
    How can I add the audio to the main menu page?
    Thx
    Joerg

    Beverly:
    What version of iDVD are you using?  The iLife 09 version is the same as iLife 11 since iDVD hadn't been updated since iLIfe 08.
    All you need to do is apply the three updaters available here: Apple - Support - iDVD 7  No need to upgrade to iLife 11 unless you need the newer iPhoto or iMovie.
    The audio well pane is brought up by typing Command+i after clicking once in the menu:

  • Audio looping need some help

    I was able to loop audio in the main menu but could not do it again. I want to audio loop music that is 8 sec long on my dvd main menu. I dragged the audio to the menu and waited for the set audio to come out. I can hear the music when I simulate the menu. However, it does not loop smoothly. I checked the setting in the general tab and it is on loop. Also in the general tab I saw that the video is 30sec long. Can someone please help me on this? How can I do a seamless loop? Thanks.
    g5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Seamless - meaning no gaps - will not happen, you can fadein/fadeout audio but there is a pause at the end of the loop
    If the video is 30 seconds long, the audio will not cover the whole 30 seconds, you will need to adjust the music or menu. In the inspector you can set the menu to an 8 second length (really kind of short) and have it loop from the beginning (loop point at 0) - your best bet is to make the audio longer

  • How do you return to main menu at end of movie in iDVD 11?

    I have created a movie in iMovie '11 with chapter markers, and imported it into iDVD 7.1.2 (1158) on an iMac
    running OS X Lion 10.7.2
    The movie imports all chapters with corresponding labels perfectly. I added a chapter at the very beginning of the movie in iMovie, and it shows up fine in iDVD.
    I removed AutoPlay since I want the DVD to play the Main Menu upon inserting it into a DVD player. What I can't figure out is how to make the DVD return to the Main Menu once it finishes playing to the end of the movie. It will automatically go to the Chapters selection menu instead. Is it possible to have it return to the Main Menu?
    In God's Harmony

    It is very possible that your iDVD Project has no Chapter Markers.
    It's possible.  My "project" which included pictures as well as movies was all done in iPhoto as a slide show.  From there I exported the slideshow into iDVD.
    I sort of messed up "I think."  I believe I did the original burn incorrectly-tester #1.  I re-burned another one this afternoon which turned out very well-tester #2.  Think I will stick with the options I used for tester #2 since it was the easiest.
    For "chapters" I will need to do some extensive "how to" reading especially when it comes to iMove.  I used iPhoto since it accepts both photos & movies.  I "think" iMovie only deals with movies?
    Thank you very much for your last post.  It was very helpful. 
    Now onto the iPhoto fourms to learn how to "add" photos & movies to where I want them, not where the computer wants to put them.

  • Why no audio on scene select menu?

    Any ideas on why I get no sound after adding audio track from iTunes to scene selection menu?
    The track is shown correctly in the menu info/inspector well, but just does not play.
    The same track works OK as audio track on main menu, but is silent when "Scene Select" is clicked.
    I have experienced this problem using several templates (but not all) and presume either I am doing something wrong or that the template is bugged.
    I have tried all methods of adding audio to the menu.
    The background video runs OK, and scene select works OK, just without audio.

    With further experimentation, I find that the top menu and scene select menu audio works properly if I start a new iDVD project and import the iMovie into it, rather than letting iMovie pass it to iDVD automatically.
    Hope this may be of help to someone....

    Export the slideshow out of iMovie via the File  ➙  Share ➙ File menu option as a 480p Quicktime movie.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
    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, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is 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.

  • How Can I Create a Menu Where the Audio Loops Twice But the Video Loops Forever

    I'm wanting to create a 50 second looping menu with a video background and some music, but I only want the music to play twice.  After the second time the music plays, I'd like the video background to continue looping, but not have any music.
    How could I achieve this while giving the user the ability to make menu selections at any time?  I've seen it done on a number of commerically available DVDs and Blu-rays, but I can't figure out how to do it in Encore.
    I'm using Encore CS6.
    Thanks.

    I'm not sure what you're referring to.  Are you referring the commercially available DVDs that I've seen achieving what I mentioned in the first post? 
    There's definately a way to do this, but perhaps Encore just insn't capable. I always find it annoying when a DVD menu loops music or some other audio infinately.  I may stick a disc in the player and walk into the other room to do something while it's loading up.  I always appreciate it when whoever made the disc only has the music or audio looping a couple of times, then it stops.
    Just wish I could do the same.

  • Changing the volume of main menu audio

    I was also wondering if there is a way to change the volume of the audio I placed in the background of my main menu page in PE4. Once I originally created the menu (from a template), I can no longer access/modify the song I placed in it. Thanks again.

    1.  Wen you say I shoudl locate my Menu Audio file, do you mean by serching the folders? I cannot find its location within my PE file when it's open. In the same way, I do not know how to actually change the file to another one from within the program. Perhaps I can only view it by searching for it on My Computer.
    When you added the link to the Menu for Audio, how did you locate the file then? That would be the same place to look now.
    Personally, I would Open that file into Audacity, or other Audio editor, make the changes there, and then Save_As, maybe sticking "menu" in its name, so you'll know that it is a different file. Back in PE, I would un-Link the Audio from the Menu, and then just re-Link to the one with the attenuated Volume. Also, you will want the Duration of this Audio file to be no more than 30 sec. (I think that is the Duration for both Menu Audio and Motion Video in PE).
    How can I make the menu audio fade in and out. I assume I can't do that in PE (as I can with all other background music in my project that I see in the timeline). Do you suggest Audacity for this as well even before I import it into the project's menu?
    This can be easily done in Audacity. It might even have a Preset for doing a Fade-in/Fade-out. I usually use Adobe Audition, or actually PrPro (PE's big-brother), as I often do DD 5.1 SS for the Menus, as well as Videos. In PrPro, I just create a new Sequence, something that PE does not have, edit the Audio only, as needed, and then Export as a DD 5.1 SS AC3 w/ the SurCode DD plug-in encoder. Though Adobe Encore, the authoring program that I use, has no limit on the Duration of Menu Audio (or Motion Menu Video), I still keep it to only about 30-40 secs, as I assume that the user will make a selection by that time. Also, with the repetitious nature of the music that I choose, and their Fade-in/Fade-out, if the Menu is up longer, it is not noticable that it has repeated.
    I use music from a company, SmartSound, and a plug-in that works with PE and PrPro, to "create" custom music from their pieces. I've marked about 12 pieces that have the characteristics that I want, and will use one of the SmartSound variations on these. I also use a bunch of their music for my Soundtracks. Though it's not a plug-in, their SonicFire Pro 5 is amazing with what it can do with their Strata Multi-layer Series of Music.
    It seems that their free plug-in comes with PE7, as well as a few pieces from their library. If you do not have PE7, the plug-in is free and works with about any flavor of PE, or PrPro. The music is not free, but over the years I've built up a significant library, whenever they have a sale.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
