Applications :: Using IDVD - Again Play Button?

May 7, 2009

I'm creating a dvd of some of the motion graphics our studio has done. I have them set up to play automatically when the dvd is loaded and to play in a loop. But, if for some reason a client were to hit the menu button - how do I set it up with a button for them to be able to play the movies again?

Applications :: Disk Burned With IDVD - Won't Play

Nov 2, 2009

Tried but couldn't find an answer to this exact question. Here's the situation: I created a movie project in iMovie, then burned it to a DVD using iDVD. The burned DVD plays in my iMac but will not play in a DVD player. I get a Cannot play this type of disk error message. I used a DVD-R disk (Memorex). I can provide more information if needed to figure this out, but is there a simple answer as to why this would happen? The DVD player says it plays DVD-R disks. The disk works in my computer. Any ideas from the experts?

Applications :: Is IDVD Able To Keep 16:9 Menu And Play 4:3 Video?

Nov 24, 2009

Is this possible? One of the apple techs told me no. I would have to change the menu to 4:3. I have 20 year old videos that I want to play in 4:3 because anytime it stretches the top gets cut down pretty bad. Yet I would love to keep the 16:9 menu screen (theme).

Another question what is best resolution to use when sending old movies (4:3 poor quality) from iMovie to iDVD? Medium? or Large?

What sucks is when I preview my video in iDVD everything looks right. Menu is 16:9 and when it plays the videos it's 4:3 ( for some reason with grey sidebars instead of black). It's just when I burn it to dvd and play on home widescreen tvs when the problems start. The menu is chopped off on a side and the videos are being stretched.

Applications :: IDVD Main Meun Not Play Music?

Dec 18, 2010

I am making a DVD using iDVD and I am able to get music to play in the scene selections but for some reason I cannot get any music to play on the Main Menu. I have dragged and dropped music onto the main menu and when I hit the "inspector" it shows that the song I chose is indeed in there with the proper duration time and everything but the music won't play.... The music that I drag onto the scenes does play but just not on the main menu.

Interestingly enough, when I open an old iDVD project, it will play music on the main menu.

Applications :: Using Mov Files In IDVD, No Sound And No Video Play After Burn?

Apr 1, 2009

I have 12 Videos in .mov format that I saved from .wmv format using quicktime and flip4mac. I have also tried saving them as AVI and same result.

Here's the problem, when I put them into iDVD and save as disk image to check, the videos are there, but no sound. I tried also burning them to DVD, using a maxell DVD-R 16x, and all the will come up on the dvd is the title menu. Movies will not play on my macbook or in the dvd player on TV. I tried using the .avi format but there still was no sound, and the movies were really choppy.

if i try to use iMovie, it will not even import these .mov files (doesn't let me click on them to import)

is there another format i need to export to, or change some setting to get the sound in my project, and get the movies to play have i burn them?

All the movies are approx 1hr long except one, and I was using the best performance setting putting 2 movies per dvd.

Applications :: Alternative To IDVD Or Different IDVD Themes?

Dec 26, 2010

I couldn't find what I was looking for in MRoogle.

The thing I hate about iDVD (besides it taking so long to burn video DVDs on Mac) is that the themes are more than I need and take up valuable disc space.

1. Are there any iDVD themes that are simply a menu...no music, no video clip previews, no sappy backgrounds, etc?

2. Is there a free (or cheap) alternative to iDVD excluding Toast?

3. I'd be using .mov or .mp4 as my source video.

4. I have iDVD 7.0.4 and am using Snow Leopard. I really don't want to pay for iLife 11 as I never use Garage Band or iPhoto. iMovie kinda sucks too.

MacBook :: Play Button On Keyboard Controls Multiple Apps At Once - How To Fix It

Sep 9, 2010

I think this is a problem that started with Snow Leopard and I'm wondering if there's a solution to it yet.

Right now I have iTunes open playing music, as well as a paused video in VLC. When I press the play/pause button (F8) on my black late 2008 MacBook, it pauses iTunes but then unpauses the VLC video. This is obviously totally unwanted behavior. How do I fix this so that this button only controls one app at a time?

MacBook :: Handy Play / Pause Button For Itunes But Affects VLC As Well?

Aug 26, 2009

I love using the play/pause button on my macbook when used with itunes, it's handy as ****. But the problem is, that it affects VLC as well, and it plays a video and the audio interrupts whatever music I'm listening to (even when no video is opened but vlc is running, it'll open my last played video and play that alongside the music). I never had this problem with the old version of vlc, but ever since updating, vlc has now been wired to work with the friggen play/pause button.

I tried looking in VLC preferences to see if it could be disabled but couldn't find anything regarding the mac play/pause keyboard button. Any ideas on how I can stop vlc from being affected by this key? And I'm not keen on the idea of going back to the older version unless it's my only option.

OS X :: Apple Remote Pause Play Button Keeps Opening ITunes?

Sep 16, 2009

I'm sure this has already been posted, and I apologize if it has, but a couple of searches turned up empty.Anyway, I just discovered this today and I'm praying this is a bug and not a "feature". When you click the pause/play button on the Apple Remote, iTunes opens and begins playing. The same thing happens when you hit the pause/play button on the media bar. I thought I was becoming dyslexic because iTunes kept playing randomly. It was only until today when I discovered this bug while playing a file in VLC. Apparently it happens with pretty much any app.

MacBook Pro :: F8 (play / Pause) Button Triggering ITunes And VLC Player On 13"

Oct 23, 2009

I got my new 13" MBP two weeks ago and I've been using the F8 button solely for playing and pausing songs in iTunes. I think it's great to have this because I can easily stop my music when I want to watch a youtube video and the audio is coming from somewhere else and not iTunes for example The problem is, whenever I press the F8 button now, it stops the song in iTunes but it starts playing a video in VLC...I checked both system preferences and VLC preferences but couldn't find anywhere to control what the F8 button controls.

Software :: ITunes 8.1 - Long Pause Before Playback After Hitting Play Button?

Mar 14, 2009

I upgraded to iTunes 8.1 when it showed up on Software Update. Since then, I've noticed that when I hit the Play button to play anything in my Library, there is a long pause (about 6-7 seconds) before the audio file starts playing. Have any of you had this happen to you?

This is on 10.4.11 on my iMac G5. My drive is getting short on space (and I'm aware of issues do to short drive space ), but it didn't do this before the upgrade to 8.1. Let me know your thoughts...

Applications :: Burning A DVD Using AVI's In IDVD?

I have VisualHub, but I'm not sure what to do...

I've done a few (well a lot) of DVDs now with iDVD using avi files on my hard disk with a view to either giving as presents or watching with the family on TV.

Applications :: Burn DVD's From IMovie Without IDVD?

Jun 21, 2005

I have iMovie 2.1.2 on a Mac G4 with a superdrive burner. I've captured video from my mini-dv camcorder and now I want to put it on DVD to be played on any DVD player.

I've tried a few of the "expert" settings to export it, but none do the trick as far as producing playable DVD's. I have toast titanium 5 and I don't have Quicktime Pro. I also do not have iDVD.

I have Final Cut Pro on this computer, but have no idea how to use it.

Is there a simple way to to export directly from iMovie onto a playable DVD, or do I need something else?

Applications :: Using IDVD - Putting Movie On Dvd?

Mar 3, 2009

I created a movie using IDVD, only I apparently don't have the kind of drive needed to burn dvds, so my questions (which is probably a stupid one) is how do I put it onto a dvd? I know there are external burners, but I rather not buy one. Are there any types of services that do that? I know there are ones for tapes to dvds, but this is already on my computer.. Can I save it and do it through a pc? Would I have to convert the file?

Applications :: Using IDVD File Sizes?

Apr 14, 2009

Whenever I try to write an .avi (or .mov) movie with iDVd onto DVD, it says: 'content reach maximum duration, pls remove some content' for movies over 700MB. That's without adding chapter markers etc...

I've tried using MPeg Streamclip and Prism to convert them to smaller sizes, but without any luck, they just come out bigger.

Applications :: Shrinking An Avi Video For IDVD?

Apr 17, 2009

so i have some bike racing videos that im trying to burn using iDVD but the files are a little to large for single layer. the files are varying in size from 1.1-1.6 gig in AVI video format. when i just drag one of the files into a project its says its to large and when opening up project manger its been expanded to 6+ gigs and wont fit. so what can i do besides burning to dual layer dvd's, what program do i need or perhaps already have that can compress the video enough so that once dropped into iDVD it will fit on a single layer dvd. also am i going to be dropping the quality of the video so low that its not going to look good?
