• teqmem HDi for authored HD-DVD

  Golgot13 and Peter Torr thank you for suggestion! Peter, what you think about DVDone tool DVD One from NetBlender is a first-of-kind solution for creating interactive layers for HD DVD, Blu-ray, and DVDs. Merry christmas at all member. The answer is no . Because you need to put a link on existing HD-DVD (inside EVO mux). I don't see any program which make this. With Scenarist HD, there is some option to link at specific postion (menu or video) to jump in Advanced Content when you are in Standard Content and in Standard Content when you are in Advanced Content.

• c_hales Disabling all Selectable Elements

  I want to disable all buttons at once from script. What is the best way to do this Can I pass an xpath expression like so: document[class('foo')] What is the best method for disabling Setting state:enabled to false document.evaluateXPath is in the spec (Z.12.7.2). It takes the same kind of XPath expressions that are used in markup (7.5.2.4) and returns a nodeList ( defined by XML , but HD DVD returns "static" nodeLists, not live nodeLists). If you mean only the navigational buttons, then you could set focus to an empty button which goes nowhere. <button id="lx" style:x="1px" style:y="1px" style:width="1px" style:height="1px" style:position="absolute" style:navUp="none" style:navDown="none" style:navLeft="no ...Show All

• deViance Using external style sheets

  Is there a way to use external style sheets without having to use include for the styling section of the markup file XSS My idea is to have the same menu markup file for 2 menus with slightly different styling. Yes -- use <include> for the body instead. I guess I can do that :-) From your answer to this question I understood that include conditions can somehow refer to script. So to learn something new today how would an include condition look like that refers let's say to a variable I'd like to do something like this: <include href="styling1.xss" condition=" variable 'style' equals 1 " /> <include href="styling2.xss" condition=" variable 'style' equals 2 " /> Or am I getti ...Show All

  Hello Everybody Can some one (from microsoft i suppose) guide about the extent of namespace support they have provided or will provide Thanks Since namespace usage is not so widely prevalent.

• yhong How can I insert a player that plays DVD media (e.g. WinDVD) within a VB module?

  Can someone please point out how to insert a media player like WinDVD inside a Visual Basic application Either using raw coding or ActiveX plug-in is fine. Thanks in advance. You have reached the wrong forum for this question. Let me attempt to answer what I can: For WinDVD specifically you'll need to contact Intervideo to see if they have an ActiveX control for WinDVD and get the name of their control. Windows Media Player can play DVDs as long as you have a DVD decoder installed. The programming interface is very limited.

In the java script for creating a directory (FileIO_createDirectory), do we have to specify the content id also If we don't specify, whether the directory will be created or some exception will be thrown I am giving two examples below, please tell in each case what will happen. 1. FileIO.createDirectory("file:///required/app1",callback_createDirectory); 2.

• Bogdan.B Validator Stopped Working

  The HD DVD Validator recently stopped working could it be because of an upgrade of internet explorer (7.0.5700.6) or do I need to install something again The simulator works fine. Greets! Are you sure you are running the validator with the correct command line arguments The implementation has changed over the last year - the input format and the output format. Personally, I like version 2 from a year ago (I have every install from the last year, so if you need something, let me know). Its not perfect, but the newest version tends to output _way_ too much unless you drastically turn down the warnings (half the time, IE crashes trying to launch the log because its just too big). And, the lastest ver ...Show All
