Why won't my DVD play but works in Encore

I have just finished editing a video of my daughter's school play using Premier Pro CS5. I used After Effects to
create an opening motion menu with three user choices:
Play Show
Select Scene
Select Song
The links are all corect and everything does what it should when previewed in Encore. However, when I output the file to DVD (direct) or build an iso file and run that in an emulated drive, everything stops after the motion menu finishes. The sub-picture highlights respond to the mouse/cursor movement but nothing happens when I click on a choice.
This is so frustrating as the whole school has been waiting since before the school holidays started in July. Everthing is ready to roll but I can't get a physical DVD to play.
What am I doing wrong?

Why won't my DVD play on everything?

I would think this would be a simple goal, but I have not yet heard a good way to achieve it.
I want to save my iMovie project, put it on a DVD, and have it play on the widest variety of systems. That is, play on a PC, and play on various DVD players.
My projects play fine on a Mac and a few DVD players, and after that it gets very iffy.
My projects are in iMovie HD and also iMovie 7.1.4.
What is the optimal way to save out iMovie projects, optimal way to burn, and optimal type of DVD so that it will work on as many systems as possible?

Saving as mov or m4v allows you to play it in QuickTime Player on your Mac or PC or through a Web Browser. It can also be played on an AppleTV or an iPod/iPhone.
A DVDProj file can only be opened by iDVD.
To play on a DVD player, you need to create an iDVD project and author the movie to a DVD.
You need to share your movie to iTunes or to the Media Browser (or by export using QuickTime). You drag this movie in to iDVD using the Media Browser in iDVD. Then you set up menus, etc. and burn your DVD.

You would need to have burned the disc using iDVD or a third-party application such as Toast. Is that what you did?

Why won't this song play even after I authorized the computer? It says that I need to authorize the computer, then I enter my username and password and it says the computer is already authorized. But then the song still won't play. What do I do?

Use the Apple ID support -> http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/ - click through the contact information and select the iTunes, etc., hot button. You can have Apple call you or email them.

Hi There,
I had the same problem took me several hours to try and sort it out but nothing worked.
I then went to the following apple link

Follow everything to a T and you will get the use of your Itunes again.
Hope this helps. Good luck (And remember to breath lol )

Why won't my music play on my iPhone 4s?

why won't my music play on my iPhone 4s? it was playing thru the music app but now it's not playing. It show the song but doesn't do anything.

I had this issue when I first upgraded my Iphone4 to ios5. All my music appeared on my device as they always have but they would not play. I searched around online and it appears there was mention of unchecking the "sync music" check box in itunes under the music tab (when device is connected) and syncing your device. I then unchecked all my playlists and synced again then started adding back my music from scratch. After that headache - everything seemed to be back to normal and my music was working once again.

Why won't the Avatar Interactive Desktop work on Windows xp SP3

As said in the title Why won't the Avatar Interactive Desktop work on Windows xp SP3. I have tried everything (uninstalling AIR, reinsalling it etc) I can think of but nothing makes it work. This image shows what I get in return every time I try to install the app. My PC meets all requirements to run Adobe AIR. Why is this occuring? I have the current version of AIR.

Hi oxide9999999999,
For the moment, you have to install the version of AIR linked from their site: http://www.avatarmovie.com/desktop/index.html
Hope this helps,

Why won't one of my speakers work on my iphone 4?

why won't one of my speakers work on my iphone 4?

Not strictly true - though I know what you mean.
To be absolutely accurate - there is another one - you put your ear to when using the phone to make a call.
Sorry its being pedantic - but I couldn't resist.

HT2801 Why doesn't my dvd play in the usb superdrive? I have a Retina Display Macbook 15"

I have a 15" Macbook Pro w/ retina display. Why doesn't the dvd play in the external usb superdrive?

Again, it's a regularly purchased (Hollywood or so) movie DVD, yes? And it's not only this one DVD, but every other as well, yes? Please confirm.
If so, it's the DVD Player app that hangs for whatever reason, and not a broken drive.
Not that it's a "final solution", but just to see if you can generally play DVD's on this machine, would you mind installing and trying MPlayerX to play a DVD? It's a little app from the App Store, free of charge and much used around the globe. (Actually, you may want to keep it as it plays many more different formats...)
Edit: Forgot to say that you will probably need to launch the DVD manually from MPlayerX, most likely after the DVD Player app crashed again.
Let us know what MPlayerX does. And still, don't forget confirming the above, thanks.

Why won't my mac internal microphone work?

Why won't my mac internal microphone work?

I just found and removed a small piece of sticky tape which was covering the mic. The mic is on the top surface of a mac - you can only just see a lighter coloured small round circle in line with the camera on the top narrow surface. My problem was sorted despite all other help and just before I gave up. Check no-one has posted a sticky message, camera cover or even an ornament over your mic. How many folk know where the mic is?

HT4145 why won't my old airport express work?

why won't my old airport express work?

Not sure what you mean by "won't work".
Won't turn on at all?
Won't allow configuration changes?
What are you trying to do with the AirPort Express?
If you could provide the Model No of the old Express.....look on the side of the Express for this.....it will be something like "A x x x x"
and
If you could provide the version of AirPort Utility that you are using.....open AirPort Utility, click on the AirPort Utility menu in the upper left corner of the screen, then click About AirPort Utility to locate the version number
We can probably help

Try cleaning the lens of the optical drive.

Ciao.
