Re: DVD's
In DVD Player, you use space to play and pause, right-arrow and left-arrows to go to next and previous chapters. In the menus, the keystrokes are listed, especially for the controls menu. htH, Teresa Everything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough.--Richard P.

Re: DVD's
Hello Teresa and All, I'm trying to watch TV seasons. Pressing the Space has not gotten the shows to play. I've tried using the controls and nothing has happened. What could I possibly be missing?

Re: DVD's
One thing that has gotten me into trouble is when I forget that QuickNav is on. Turn it off and the arrow keys should do what they're supposed to. I've forgotten this more times than I want to remember :) Bob Hill On Mar 14, 2012, at 6:39 PM, Ezzie Bueno wrote: Hello Teresa and All, I'm trying to watch TV seasons.

Re: dvd's
Ditto. This might be a non-trivial process. DVDs are usually playing MPEG2 format video and AVI is a Microsoft Video for Windows format which they came out with in 1992. It is just a container which can hold mpeg2 and other content types but DVDs are not typically formatted that way. DVDs in addition to being a specific physical media also has an entire spec about how the hierarchy of files is organized and how those files are formatted. So you can't just throw any old file on a DVD disc and expect it to work in a DVD player. That said, I wonder if iMovie could import the AVIs and make a DVD out of them. Or maybe QT Pro could export the AVIs in something iMovie can import. CB erik burggraaf wrote: Hi Will, If you copy a set of avi files into the untitled dvd folder and burn them, you will get a disc full of avi files in whatever folder structure you set them up in.

Re: dvd's
Hi, I've never tried on an AVI file, but I have tried on mpeg2 files and Imovie won't use them. I've googled to see if I can find an importer, and some very inelegant solutions exist. You have to be a bit careful though because some of the videos like low bit mpeg2's or avi files are lossie compressed video. It's somewhat analagous to making cd's out of mp3 files. Possibly necessary bbut not totally advisable if there's a posibility of avoiding it. I really don't see though why it should be so hard to find a program that will *import video files using existing or open source codeks, *Accessibly allow for title and chapter points to be added b time or by frame, *Accessibly allow for the insertion of an image, sound, or flash movie to use as a menu background, *And then nicely encode the dvd to a video_ts folder, preferably mangling the video as little as possible.
