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.
I want to loop the photos on my Main Menu dvd. I can loop the photos in my slideshow just not the front page.
I tried going to Map and dragging it to automatic play but it won't drag. (someones advise on a previous message)
Do certain Themes not allow me to loop images? I"m using Sliding Panes in the 5.0 Theme version.
Any info would help! Thanks!

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.

    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.

  • Can't find the Slideshow option under Photo from the main menu

    I have downloaded pics to my Ipod Nano and successfully viewed them in the past.
    Accessing the Photo Option from the Main Menu, the only option I see is for Slideshow Settings. The option for actually playing a Slideshow seems to have disappeared.
    Any ideas?

    Have you tried
    Settings >Main Menu
    make sure Photo is set to ON

  • 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.

  • Want my DVDs to auto start with the main menu when inserted into a player

    I used idvd to burn an imovie that I made. I have a main menu theme from idvd on the project but when I insert the dvd into a dvd player or computer, the project automatically starts playing without going to the main menu first. How can I make it so it goes to the main menu first, allowing me the chance to click the button I made on the menu to play the project. THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR ANY HELP!!

    By default, projects created with iDVD will always go to the menu screen first. If it doesn't that usually means you made a change to the iDVD map.
    To check, click on the "Map" button (Three small squares joined by a line at the bottom of the screen).
    Take a look at the far left menu square. If there is anything in this square it will play that square first before going to the menu.
    Click on that left hand square and tap the delete key to remove the auto-play item.
    Hope that helps.

  • Back button returns to the movie, not the main menu

    I created an iDVD with a main menu of three options: 1) Video, 2) Photo with audio track, and 3) Photo with audio track.
    When I watch the video option and hit the "back" button, I return to the main menu. Perfect. But when I'm in either of the Photo/Audio pages and hit "back", I return not to the main me menu (which is what I want), but to the video.
    Why is this happening and how do I correct it? Thanks!

    I am a bit confused. When you say the "back" button, do you instead mean the "Menu" button?
    Normally the back button would jump you back to the last chapter. If there are no chapters in your movie, then the back button would just back to the default first chapter at 0:00. In other words, back button should restart the movie from the beginning.

  • Is there any way to create or move around folders on the main menu?

    For example, I know how to add things like Clock, and take out things like pictures.. but is there a way I could create another option to put notes or photos in? Like a new folder on the main menu that you could go into and it would have maybe my photos, notes, and a calendar or something like that.

    You should be able to create and edit playlists on iOS devices and in iTunes.  Probably much quicker and easier on the computer, and I believe smart playlists can only be created in iTunes.

  • Is there a way of just changing the text to the main menu..but not the submenus?

    Is there a way of just changing the text to the main
    menu..but not the submenus?
    Also i have looked at in the browser and when i glide over
    the menu catergories or click on them they dont show the
    submenu...what can i do to solve this?

    Does the example described at
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/menu_bar/index.html
    work for you?
    What are you doing that's different from the example?
    When you say you just want to change the text of the main
    menu without changing the submenus, do you mean you want to do so
    dynamically, at some later stage after the page has loaded?
    If so, you could try retrieving the main menu elements you
    want to update from the DOM and updating them from your script's
    event handler for whatever event it is that you want to update them
    in response to. This presumes the widget will detect this and
    update appropriately, which I can't say for sure since I haven't
    actually tried it.
    Hope that helps!

  • I just bought Apple Tv.  Everything is hooked up and home sharing is turned on (imac, ipad, apple tv).  When i play my itunes through my tv the song will play for apprx. 45 to 60 seconds and then cuts off and goes back to the main menu.

    I just purchased Apple Tv 2.  Hooked it up and everything is set on Home Sharing.  When i attempt to play itunes through  my tv the song will only play for approx. 45-60 seconds and then the Main Menu comes on and the song quits.  Same goes for when I put my photos on.

  • When I stop a movie, it doesn't go back to the main menu.

    I am experiencing a very frustrating situation.
    I have burned a DVD with 2 short movies on it.
    When I play either of them all the way through, after they're over, it returns automatically to the main menu, which is what I want.
    However, when I STOP either of them anywhere during the playing, it does NOT return to the main menu. It just stays on a black screen.
    This situation happens on my Mac DVD Player, and also on external DVD players connected to a TV.
    Let's say I am watching the 1st movie, I don't like it and I want to watch the 2nd one on the same DVD. I logically press STOP, but it doesn't bring me back to the main menu. If I press "Menu" or "title", it doesn't work either.
    Is there something on the "Map function" window that I should do?
    If not, is there any other solution?
    Many thanks in advance for any help.

    Ok, don't press STOP, just press "menu" or "title" without pressing stop.
    BTW, I tested both a commercial DVD (Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade) and and a iDVD disk in my Panosonic player and on my Mac with the Apple DVD player.
    On the Panosonic Player: If I press Stop on either DVD, I go to a blank screen. If I press menu once and wait a sec or two, both DVDs go back to the main menu.
    On the Apple DVD player: If I press Stop on either DVD, I go to a blank screen, and pressing "menu" gives me the "not permitted" warning for both DVDs.....
    So It seems like fro me, iDVD works just like the commercial DVD on both the Mac and the DVD player.....

    If i factory reset my iPhone will it relock to O2?
    I've had my iPhone 3G for a couple of years and when out of contract i asked O2 to unlock it, which they did. I've used a Three sim card and it works okay. I've now decided to sell it but before I send it to the buyer i want to factory reset the phone. Will it remain available to use on any network once i've reset it, because i've advertised it as an unlocked phone?
    If it was officially unlocked by O2 it will remain unlocked if reset or updated.
    Also, just as a side note if you can help. Its running iOS 3.1.3. Once factory reset and connected to iTunes will it force an iOS 4 update or can you choose not to update the OS?
    If you restore it in iTunes it will be updated to the current release, 4.3.1. There are ways around this; Google is your friend.

  • Trouble scrolling on the main menu using my dvd player.

    I can't seem to move to the scenes button when I'm on the main menu using my DVD player. This function seems to work fine on my computer. Before I burn another (very long) disc and try again, does anyone have any suggestions?

    If I have two buttons, one for Subtitles on and one for Subtitles off, how do I make it so that the one that is chosen is highlighted?
    You set it by changing the menu's property for the default button. This is one of the reasons a separate menu is generally used. If you have a single menu with 3 buttons ("play movie," "subtitle on," and "subtitle off"), and you set the default to "Active Subtitle Track," then your "play movie" button won't ever be the default.
    To play with this and to decide how you want your disk to work, create a test EN project with 2 menus. Rename one of them "Main Menu" with 2 buttons "Play Movie" and "Subtitle Setup." Rename the second menu "Subtitle Setup" with 3 buttons, "Subtitle On," "Subtitle Off," and "Main Menu." As noted, the "Default Button" property for the menu "Subtitle Setup" will be "Active Subtitle Track." The button "Subtitle On," using specify link, will link to its own menu, default button, but will specify Subtitle 1. Same for the button "Subtitle Off," except that it will specify Subtitle Off. The Main Menu button simply links to the main menu.
    Note that in Encore preview, do not use your computer mouse to hover over the buttons. It will trick you into thinking that you have or have not set the behavior correctly. Use the little remote function in the bottom of the preview window.

  • Don't wanna album artworks keep floating on the main menu

    Is there any way to disable album artworks keep floating on the main menu of iPod classic?
    I think Apple should give us a choice to disable this function with next iPod firmware update.
    Some album artworks I don't want to show up there. And the key point is, the resolution of all my album artworks are 200 x 200. It is really enough for my 5G iPod video. But for my new iPod classic, all artworks would be force to enlarge the size for floating on the main menu like screensaver, and they look really crap.
    And I think those new default icons on iPod classic are really nice and that's what I prefer to show

    Given the resolution you've got them at, the other occurances of them in the UI - like CoverFlow and album art when a track is playing - also probably look not great.
    Turn of the option of synching them completely via the Music tab for the iPod in iTunes. Gets rid of the issue completely - and as you say leaves more useful icons in some places.
