Why don't my chapter marks work on the burned DVD?

I spent most of the weekend learning iMovie and creating a DVD of our Children's Holiday Concert with clips and 18 chapter marks. I used the iMovie link to create a iDVD project. In that project all of my chapter marks show up in the menues and the map. I loaded short movie clips in all of the dropzones just cuz I can. Looks great in iDVD. In preview I can navigate utilizing the menu buttons with no problem. So I decide to burn my first masterpiece, which is too large for a single layer DVD, but, no problem, I am well prepared and decide to burn a Dual Layer so I can stay in Best Performance, and put my DL super drive thru its paces for the first time. After 3 hours of rendering, I pull out my disc and take it to a set-top unit to make sure it looks good. It starts, it plays fine. I advance to the 2nd chapter and then the 3rd, no problem. But after getting into the 3rd chapter it appears that none of the chapter marks after chapter 3 are there. They show in the menu, but selecting any chapter after chapter 3 drops you into the middle of chapter 3 and no farther. What's goin' on? (Apologies to Marvin Gaye.)

Helloi there!
I am not surpriced if your dvdwriter did "forget to do the second layer" ? I made a dvd with 3 small movies the other day, 1 movie, slideshow,and a blooper.
Maeby you should do the same! 18 chapters is alot, make them simpler by sending them to Q-time as new miniature films You then make nr.1 movie in imovie open idvd and create a new prjkt Use a simple theme then add Q-tmovies 1 by 1 to new buttons as extras (chapternames). the menucontrols on dvdplayer can be alittle confusing but no 1 movie starts imidiatly to and goes back to menu when ready wiewed....
Go with tiger! Ivar..

Why don't you guys make so that the Xperia tablet Z

Why don't you guys make so that the Xperia tablet Z can connect with the PS4 the same way as Vita does, you know being able to stream video and audio directly to the tablet and being able to play the game straight from the tablet, (i know that the Vita advertisement is just to boost sales, but i already have a controler, let me put it for good use). microsoft have mentioned their "glass" app that lets you stream games directly to the tablet, but what if sony could do it as well but specific to the Xperia tablet z..(later on maybe for other android phones.)

Thank you for your feedback! I will pass this on internally.

Why Don't Contact Images Come Along In The VCard File? :-O

Why Don't Contact Images Come Along In The VCard File? :-O

Thanks for the replies and help. Since I was taking pictures of the same image in both color and B&W, I didn't know that the B&Ws were being imported in color and didn't catch it. If they were of a different scene, I would have caught it. So, I just learned something about RAW files! Thanks again! Gotta walk before you can run.

Either it isn't plugged in all the way, the headphones are defective, or the headphone jack on your Touch is broken.

DVD menu doesn't work on the finished DVD

Please, I need some help.
I am having problems with a DVD menu.
Several days ago I burned a DVD from the same project that I tried to export to DVD today, and I did not have any problems with DVD menu, but today, when I start to burn DVD it shows me a warning sign that tells a few DVD markers are closer than they are required, and after burning DVD the DVD menu doesn't show or work on the finished DVD. What am I doing wrong?

Chapter marker help and two-part DVD's

Hi,
I've got a dance show that I have edited and now need to put into a DVD. I have a couple of questions I need answering so would really appreciate a little help
The show is in two halves - first half and second half (duh lol). Do I need to put each half into a separate sequence and then open in Encore, or do I just have it as one long sequence?
I've figured out there are Encore Chapter Markers, which I've set accordingly - is there anything different I need to do when it comes to two halves?
Thanks for your help!
Nath

Hi Nath,
AME = Adobe Media Encoder. From Premiere, make sure your Sequence is selected, then use File > Export > Media and this launches AME. Maybe I'm old school, but I prefer the control I have using AME directly versus Dynamic Link which is more "auto pilot". I think what I like is that if I encode my Sequence to "MPEG-2 for DVD" prior to opening Encore, then Encore doesn't have to encode the video, which means once my menus are done, I can have a proof DVD in hand in literally minutes! I'm usually ready for a break when completing an edit, so then is a good time for me to encode, then I come at the DVD authoring fresh and have no wait for encoding in that process.
The only catch with manually encoding the DVD content is to get the correct encoding rate so it all fits the disc. I use the formula 560/minutes=rate, so for instance 560/120=4.66 and I just round down a bit to 4.5 to allow for any overhead.
In AME, choose "MPEG-2 for DVD" for format and for the preset, choose what is appropriate to your footage, for instance "NTSC Widescreen High Quality". Then under the VIDEO tab, you can choose CBR or VBR (Constant or Variable Bit Rate) and set the bit rate according to program length. Google CBR and VBR because I know that will be the next question. I prefer CBR unless program is very long.
This will Export TWO files - an .m2v for video, and .wav for audio. Any chapter marks in Premiere are written to other files, but you need not worry about those. In Encore, start a new DVD project, then use File > Import > As Timeline and just multi-select both the .m2v and .wav files. They will import to a timeline, with chapter marks included!
When you finally build the project, the .wav audio is by default converted to Dolby Digital, which is much smaller than .wav, so if you are adding the sizes of the .m2v and .wav and think "they won't fit the disc", the audio compression should fix that if you encoded at the correct rate.
As mentioned, the nice thing is that when you Build, you will see the progress bar Transcoding Audio, but not video, so it goes VERY quickly, just a couple of minutes to build a 2-hour DVD unless you have complex motion menus to render.
Hope I'm not adding more confusion, go ahead and use Dynamic Link if that is most comfortable for you, but good to know how to use AME as well.
Thanks

Why do my rollover buttons quit working when I burn my project to a DVD?

Hi
I have a reel of my work built and everything functions when I simulate the project in DVD Studio Pro. However, when I burn the project to a DVD, my rollover buttons no longer work )and the quality of my work (menus, images, and videos) becomes very poor. I created my layered rollover buttons and menus using Photoshop. How can I resolve these issues?
Thanks

Welcome to the discussions... Eric has the answer for you - you won't get a rollover effect when you use photoshop layer based menus because of the way that these become a series of different menus when the disc is built. You most certainly can get rollover effects if you use a standard overlay menu type.
The reasons for using a layer menu are largely confined to situations where you absolutely must reveal some contextual information when a user selects a button, and where this information must use a common area of the menu to all of the other buttons that do this. In all other situations avoid using them if you can, as they are so limited, offer slow playback to the end user, need more than one mouse click to activate a button and don't support audio or video backgrounds.
Use a standard overlay and you won't have these issues.

Why does Do Not Disturb only work when the iPhone is locked?

I've been wanting for awhile now a way to easily turn off all notification alerts and incoming calls while keeping cellular data and wi-fi on so I can use my phone in peace without gimping my wireless connections, and even though iOS 6 as a whole seems awesome to me, I'm disappointed Do Not Disturb only works when the iPhone is locked.

Was just wondering if other people felt the same way I do and start a discussion about it so maybe that with more people talking about it, Apple would pay attention to it more. People complaining about how calls and alerts were lighting up their screen at night seems to be some inspiration to why Apple added Do Not Disturb in the first place. Didn't know I was doing anything in violation of the Terms of Use so sorry about that.

Why my power map doesn't work and the button of power map is grey

After I finish installing my power map plung-in for excel， I find that this plung-in can‘t work and the button is grey.Anyone
meet similar problems could help me?

hi, Anita
I just want to say that the key problem is "the button is grey".
I have tried all your solutions, but none of them worked.
And with my regret, I have to say that power map is listed in both "COM Add ins"
and "Excel Add ins", but still, the button is grey .

Why won't my bluetooth connection work with the new sofware when it comes to my ITunes?

After I installed the software, my phone will connect to the bluetooth (so the phone and such work and the music) but I can no longer control my music from the radio and see the song that is up (scroll on screen). I have checked all the settings, but they are good. So it has to be the software.

There is an alternative downloader for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
that seems to address the most of the playback issues - including problems with Bluetooth devices - that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version (the alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer). The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
Some users have reported that after installing this alternative version it is necessary to adjust the "Play audio using" selection (normally to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session", though this may vary based on your audio hardware/drivers) in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio (one part of the reported symptoms is that the "Direct Sound" choice isn't available, usually in Windows 8).
Another possible remedy relates to a potential clash between the 64-bit version of iTunes 12 and Google Chrome; some users have reported that uninstalling Chrome (not just not having it running) resolves the iTunes playback issues without having to install the alternative version referred to above.
Finally, you may want to think about reverting to iTunes 12.0 - see Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers.

Script wont work after building/burning dvd

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with a HUGE dvd-project I'm working on at the moment. It's a compilation dvd with 50 different short videos and approximately 55 menus. a large part of the 50 videos is connected through the menus with 201 unique buttons.
First I made different stories to be sure the viewer gets directed to the menu he/she came from when a video ends. But because the project became too big (99 tracks and or stories is the maximum) I got into scripting.
I thought I actually managed to write the right scripts, but now it seems that a stand alone dvd-player doesn't recognize the scripts. Every time a video ends or I use the menu button on the remote control the (first) main menu appears.
*So my question for all the friendly folks out there on the other end of the glass fiber-cable is: What can I do to make it work? Is this a problem someone recognizes? Is it my scripting? Is there a way to work around scripting?*
If you need more info please let me know. I wanted to keep it as short as possible at first, but I can elaborate some more if needed.
thanks in advance
ciao!

As already said, the pre-scripting is usually the culprit... and as StudioX said, I \did leave much of the detail out in that article, which was intended to build on from other sources, such as the manual!
If you remove the setting which puts the scripts as prescripts, and be explicit with the menu jumps (i.e. write them out in full each time and don't rely on 'current item' and dividing by '32'), then the scripting should work.
Additionally, the script lines you quote in your prescript may not work, depending on where you are in the disc when they are run. The very first script you create will have a value of 63489, which when you divide by 32 gives just over 1984, so will be rounded to either 1984 or 1985. Since this does not equate to any menu item then the jump cannot work, since GPRM3 will never be equal to '1'. As a result the disc reverts to the main menu.
To make this more reliable you need to work out the value of the last item, which if it is track or story 1 will be 49280. Story 2 in track 1 will be 49408, story 3 49536. This continues even if you then go to a new track. Knowing this the maths then to get to a menu is easier.
If you 'get last item' and know that you are coming from a track or story then you can subtract 49280 and divide by 128. If you are on track or story 1 then the result is zero. Otherwise it is going to be 1, 2, 3, etc. If you know which clips you access from each menu then you can add a series of 'if' statements, for example:
Jump menu1 If (GPRM3 <= 20)
Which would mean anything up to your first 20 clips would send you back to menu1.
You can then add in the button jump before this statement and you should be getting closer to what you need.

How can I work through a Burn DVD problem?

In a perfect world, you could put together a project out of any media, click the Share tab and burn it to a disk. Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons – some related to Premiere Elements, most related to operating system drivers or program conflicts, this sometimes doesn’t go as smoothly as it should.
The simplest solution is to break the process down into its elements and then troubleshoot each element individually.
There are three main reasons for a problem burning a DVD or BluRay disc: challenging source video (including photos that are larger than the recommended 1000x750 pixels in size); interfacing issues with your disc burner (often the result of a program like Nero not sharing the burner with other programs); and lack of computer resources (namely lack of available scratch disk space on your hard drive). This workaround eliminates most Burn Disc problems. And those it doesn’t eliminate, it at least helps you isolate where the problem is occurring.
1. Burn to a folder rather than directly to a disc. Select this option from Share/Output/Disc. This eliminates the possibility that other disk burning software is interfering with communication with your computer’s burner. Once the disk files are created, you can use your computer’s burner software to burn the VIDEO_TS folder and its contents to a disk.
If this doesn’t work, it could be that your computer lacks the necessary resources, as discussed below.
2. Clear space on and defragment your hard drive. A one-hour video can require up to 50 gigabytes of free, defragmented space on your hard drive to render and process (depending on your source files). Even a “pure” AVI project can require 20-30 gigabytes of space.
Clear off your computer and regularly defragment it, per Maintain Your Computer, above, and you’ll reduce the likelihood of this being an issue – assuming you’ve got an adequately powered computer and an adequately large hard drive in the first place.

Hi
What I would do is start a new project i.e. XXXXXX Final Cut.
Then I would import the finished AVI file into the project and burn it to DVD.
I have also found that PE is sensitive to the files being fragmented.
When I have a project in the works I defragment the drive or the folders that the project is before proceeding.
This has actually made the difference between whether it would work or not on some projects.
I also shut down and restart the program just before burning the project to disk, to clear out any thing using resources.
I use Defraggler to defrag my files it's free and works really well.
And you can chose to defrag what you want or the whole drive.
I run it several times a day when I'm working on big files.
